The Carhartt WIP x Salomon X-ALP “Black” feels like a proper meeting point between workwear durability and alpine performance. Built on Salomon’s X-ALP platform, the shoe leans into rugged, functional design with a stealthy all-black execution that fits perfectly into Carhartt WIP’s world. The upper mixes technical textiles with reinforced overlays, giving it a tough, almost industrial feel while staying lightweight and ready for movement.
Salomon’s climbing-inspired DNA comes through in the precise fit, sturdy heel structure, and grippy outsole made for uneven terrain, while Carhartt keeps things grounded with minimal branding and a no-nonsense aesthetic. It’s the kind of pair that works just as well on a city commute as it does off the beaten path.
